Bells on SundayAvailable for over a year
Bells on Sunday comes from the church of St Mary and St Benedict, Buckland Brewer in Devon. In 1825, the famous bell founder John Taylor set up a business in the village and recast the ring of six bells. The bells were recast again in 1899, this time by his son at the John Taylor and Company foundry in Loughborough, a foundry which still operates to this day. The tenor bell weighs twelve and three quarter hundredweight and is tuned to G. We hear them ringing Devon style call changes.
